The Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance (WLSA) is a trade organization committed to accelerating the adoption of innovative healthcare technologies. Their headquarters is in San Diego.

Abstract:

Mobile health continues to be one of the hottest topics in Healthcare IT. Come hear the CEO of the Wireless Life Sciences Alliance and the CEO of Scanadu discuss their perspectives on a digital and wireless technologies enablement ecosystem. The integration of medicine, science, technology, engineering and big data analytics that will deliver improved wellness and cost effective health care and outcomes.

We are also inviting mobile health companies to provide some table top demonstrations. (There is still room for a few more. If your organization wants to ask to be included, send a message via the "contact" link on the Meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/SVForum-HealthcareITSIG.)

Vision: A future in which healthcare is connected, consumer-centric, distributed and integrated seamlessly across all providers irrespective of the venue.

Mission: to create open and honest conferences and forums, in the real and virtual world, where we bring together the individuals and organizations who will create constructive cross-functional dialogue on health and healthcare delivery. These discussions lead to collaboration to develop and deploy new cross-functional multi-disciplinary solutions.

In November 2012, Scanadu, a new personalized health electronics company, unveiled the first three products in its family of consumer health tools: Scanadu SCOUT, Project ScanaFlu and Project ScanaFlo. Based at NASA-Ames Research Center, Scanadu is using mobile, sensor and social technology to ensure this is the last generation to know so little about our health. The newly introduced home diagnostic tools are set to be the biggest innovation in home medicine since the invention of the thermometer.

Robert B. McCray is the President & CEO of the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance, Chairman of Alliance Healthcare Foundation, Member of the Boards of Directors of Midmark Corporation and CONNECT, and Special Advisor to TripleTree LLC and several companies.

Previously, Mr. McCray served as Chairman, President and CEO of HealthCap, Inc., a successful venture capital-backed physician practice management company; as President, COO and early investor in Digital On-Demand, Inc., a technology company operating the ReDotNet music distribution system in major retail chains; as Managing Director of Caremark Physician Resources, a division of Baxter; and co-founder and Chairman of OnCall Medicine, Inc., a medical house calls company. Prior to his business career, Rob practiced healthcare regulatory and transactional law for 15 years and created a focused inter-disciplinary healthcare law firm and consultancy with a national client base.

Speaker II:

Walter De Brouwer, Ph.D., is the CEO of Scanadu. He is an entrepreneur and investor, and has been many things: an academic, a publisher of computer magazines in the 80′s, an internet entrepreneur and a telecom operator in the 90′s, an extreme science lab chief and a banker until 2007. He holds an M.A. in linguistics and a Ph.D. in semiotics. He is a student of formal grammars, parsers, Nikola Tesla patents and deconstructionism. His wife says he is an anarchist as long as he is in charge.

Speaker III:Thomas Schlumpberger, VP, Business Development, AliveCor. AliveCor's Heart Monitor, which works with the iPhone 4 and 4S, is cleared by the FDA for sale in the U.S.to licensed medical professionals and prescribed patients, to record, display, store, and transfer single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms.

This meeting will be a co-event with the SVForum * Healthcare IT SIG. We are looking forward our second co-hosted event with these two groups. Our last meeting had standing room only.

Topic: Mobile Health * A leading association‘s perspective.
